Interior Parts Help Needed

SUN-CHASER · 07-12-2009, 08:45 PM

I am hoping that somebody can point me in the right direction.....I broke my dash cooler latch today while reaching for a frosty, I also noticed that my interior galley door latch on my 99 28 SS is also cracked. I am trying to find new ones, anybody have an idea where I can get them? Also, all my cabin lights look like crap, pitted with rust, I would like to get new ones of those also, Im thinking about maybe a light from a newer Sonic model....? Any help appreciated

You can get those latches from West Marine. Look into replacing your lights with LED's. They run much cooler, run less power, look better, and are overall much safer.

I found the the latches thanks. I agree with you LED is the way to go. I just have to find a place that has the lights at a reasonable price. Even on my 28 its more then a few lights to replace

Superbrightleds.com they have a cross over chart that makes it easy, no guessing. I did a 45 for about three hundred dollars. I did everything.

What did you do for the cabin bulbs John? I was thinking of these, but they are pricey. The 105's I have don't cross over. 1156 bulbs don't fit due to width.

Chris I will check to see what number it was. They did not look like those. If they will work, call and ask to see which are brighter. (when I get the other cross over bulb number). The wife complians sometimes she says it is not as bright. I think they are fine. They save a ton of battery power.

Thanks for the help John. I ordered the LED's tonight.

Your welcome Chris, I think I am going to up grade to the 15 light from the 9. The price seems better than it was a couple of years ago.

I tried an old trick to get rid of the rust on my interior lights. I took some steel wool and coated it with WD-40 and polished the lights. I was able to remove all the rust from the surface of the lights. There is only a few spots where if you look closely you can see the pit. Only time will tell if the rust will come back. I am going to convert to the LED bulbs from the website listed above. The only problem is I pulled out a bulb and ran the number on the base in the conversion database and have no matches. On the side of my bulb it says 12VY3CP.......I will pull out another bulb and see what its says but it looks like a standard bulb.
